4th October 2016 - During an inspection to make sure that the improvements required had been made

Letter from the Chief Inspector of General Practice

We carried out an inspection of Wycliffe Surgery on 4 October 2016. This review was performed to check on the progress of actions taken following an inspection we made in April 2016. Following the inspection in April 2016 the provider sent us an action plan which detailed the steps they would take to meet their breach of regulation. During our latest inspection on 4 October 2016 we found the provider had made the necessary improvements.

This report covers our findings in relation to the requirements and should be read in conjunction with the report published in January 2015. This can be done by selecting the 'all reports' link for Wycliffe Surgery on our website at www.cqc.org.uk

Our key findings at this inspection were as follows:

The practice had improved the governance systems to assess, monitor and mitigate the risks relating to the health, safety and welfare of service users and others who may be at risk. This included the introduction of improved:

• Systems to manage and monitor infection control procedures, including infection control audits, disposal of water used to wash leg ulcers and booking infection control training.
• Processes to monitor and keep an overview of significant events and complaints.
• Assessment of the risk of non-clinical staff generating prescriptions following changes in medicines for patients discharged from hospital.
• Systems to evidence that all nurses were currently on the Nursing and Midwifery Council register
• Monitoring to ensure all staff received annual appraisals.

The provider had also implemented changes to identify and support more carers within the practice.
